I have tried generic ink cartridges before and they are fine for printing documents for internal use. But, for client ready presentations, HP has the edge. So, I no longer use any other cartridges but HPs. The quality is worth the cost.

I know I can always depend on HP. They have what I need and it works well all the time. The ink cartridges last a super long time. They print good, quality prints and they do not dry out if I do not use them for an extended period of time. They never leak or make a mess when being handled new or empty. I also love that I can return the empty cartridge to Staples and get credit towards buying future ink cartridges. I have compared the HP ink cartridge to the self filling cartridges and believe me the self filling ones can not compare to the excellent quality of the HP.

I use this ink for my HP office jet printer. I found Staples to be very cost competitive. The information provided at the sales wall was very useful. The sales associate was also helpful in helping me decide which ink cartridge to purchase for my immediate use; such as the amount of ink in each cartridge. This ink last longer than the standard HP94 and this is what I was looking for in my immediate needs. HP has always provided exceptional quality in my printing needs. Staples has always had the most competitive rate in my area and I will continue to shop there.

I always do a large amount of printing in many different categories from printing labels and photos to manuscripts, and the HP 96 more than amply covers my needs. The printing is of the highest quality, with very distinct, and legible characters. The cartridge is able to print over 800 pages clearly. Staples has always offered exceptional quality for the price compared to other competitors. Their sales staff is always ready to assist and very knowledgeable in all products that are offered by Staples.

I was very easy to install the black ink cartridge into my HP Deskjet 6540. The printing is crisp and intense for any copy that does not have another color associated with it. However, on copies which have areas where there is also color the entire black ink is somewhat light in intensity. It was explained to me that some printers require both the black ink cartridge as well as the color ink cartridge to work properly. I plan on replacing the color ink cartridge with a new one to see if this solves the problem
